Live in the Heart of San Diego’s Gaslamp District at Gaslamp City Square

Gaslamp City Square is located in the center of San Diego’s Gaslamp District taking up an entire city block between Fourth and Fifth Avenue and Island and J Street.  It is one of our favorite buildings within the Gaslamp District due to its location, good construction and comparatively low association fees for the amenities included.  Expect to pay between $280 and $380 in association fees at this building.  Association fees typically vary within a building due to unit square footage.  Gaslamp City Square shares two addresses, 445 Island and 450 J Street, and has separate entrances at each.  Secure underground parking is available at the garage entrance along Fourth Avenue.  It is important to note this garage is shared with general public parking.  Units can come with zero to two garage parking spaces.  Strictly on a resale basis, we recommend trying to get a unit that comes with two spaces.  Typically, only the two bedroom units may come with two spaces.

Gaslamp City Square resides above commercial units and shares the block with restaurants such as the Red Pearl Kitchen and The Oceanaire Seafood Room along J Street.  Additionally, this block has retail stores such as Puma, Quicksilver and Skechers along Fifth Avenue.  This seven story building was built by K. Hovnanian Homes with phases completed between 2004 and 2006.  It has 223 units with floor plans that include studios, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms.  In our opinion, Gaslamp City Square offers the best of both worlds with its unit layout.  Whether you want to be in the middle of the Gaslamp activity with a street facing unit or just close to the activity with a unit facing the interior courtyard and pool, both options are available. Considering its location, the interior units are surprisingly quiet.

Floor plans, on average, range from 448 to 754 square feet studios, one-bedrooms from 547 to 846 square feet and two-bedrooms from 958 to 1,113 square feet.  In addition, Gaslamp City Square has a small number of two-story town homes.  Please note that some two-bedroom floor plans only have one bath.  Most of the units have a “Juliet” balcony which means the balcony does not extend from the unit.  The only units with a patio are on the third floor and face the interior courtyard and pool area.  This common area is available to all residents and includes gas grills, chaise lounge chairs, spa and swimming pool.  In addition, residents have access to the on-site fitness center.

For the home buyer who wants to be in the heart of the Gaslamp District or the investor who wants a prime rental location, we feel Gaslamp City Square offers options for both.  Please contact us if you would like more information about this building and the listings available.  Feel free to search all listings in Downtown San Diego, San Diego County and Southern California as a whole at www.NoBullAgent.com.
